Additional Message:
-------------------
Yes I will be on the track for my 70th birthday which is the 27th September just what I wanted thanks.

Now Gail I have a big ask for you besides myself it will also certainly assist others passing through Brisbane who maybe contemplating the same trek 435 is it possible to bring it forward one day starting on the 26th ?

The reason for this is flights by bringing it one day forward it would work in very well with Airlines PNG flights, see below, if I was to use Qantas their flights arrive at 1pm before clearing customs etc which would be next to useless for you wanting to start a trek that day where Airlines PNG arrive at 10.40am a more suitable time I would think.

I could come a day earlier with Qantas and leave a day later also with Qantas but this would be an extra expense not only with Qantas but hotels as well. Airlines PNG with the trek starting on the 27th would add possibly two hotel nights each end.

By starting one day earlier trek 435 would both ends work in very nicely with Airlines PNG flights with a one night hotel stop on the way home, I am sure that others taking this trek passing through Brisbane would greatly appreciate this also.

Additional Message:

To arrive and walk up to Isurava Monument area on the 24th is a big ask for the average person. We had a group walk in 2008 who left on the 24th and arrived at Isurava Monument around 8pm that night.

This trek is designed so that you can look around on the 23rd and be ready to get up early on the 24th around 6am and commence your walk without worrying about a delayed flight into Kokoda. The flight this year got away around 7:30 and arrived in Kokoda at 8am. Two years ago one girl could not make it and missed the service. We feel commencing your trek on the 23rd April 2009 is a much safer option to the pressure of walking on the 24th if your aim is to reach Isurava for the service.

Who is Soc Kienzle?

As a child, Soc explored the jungle with the "fuzzy wuzzies" and their families, searching for war relics on the battle sites his father would describe. Much of what is and was in the Kokoda Museum was found by him, including the Japanese Mountain Gun now located next to the Japanese memorial on the Kokoda plateau.

At the age of 13, Soc set the record for a non-national "man" when he crossed the Trail, from MacDonald's Corner to Kokoda in 30 hours including 6 hours sleep at Kagi. Over the ensuing years he traversed different parts of the track helping to drive the first cattle to native blocks and on aircraft search and rescue missions. He knows the 'True War Trail', much of which is no longer being used, better than anyone.

Soc's love of Kokoda did not begin with reading a book although he has read every one that has been written about the Campaign! His passion for Kokoda and its people is in his blood and his desire to maintain the integrity of the Trail is borne for this reason and out of deep respect for his father, the Papuans and the diggers.

Traversing the Trail with Soc entertaining you with stories of the war, and many other tales only he can tell, is an experience you will never forget and one which cannot be matched.

His rapport with the nationals as he talks and jokes with them in Motu will fascinate and amaze you and give you an insight into the local people, their humour and their culture that again, cannot be matched.
